Mon dieu... it's been an incredible month of March! Beyond my greatest expectations! In just 9 days, my amazing supportive community of friends, family and the good people of Edmonton have helped me raise over $5K so I can attend the Creative Minds Program in France. This little Irish gal and her horror film will be at the largest film festival in the world! Pinch me. Is this real life?
